==Interfaces and Functions==
===DC Power===
SBC-iMX8M-Mini main power is provided with 12V DC power supply. Adapters for European AC and US AC outlets are included. Connect the PSU to connector '''J2''' before turning on the device.

===Serial Console===
To start using serial console connect your host PC to the micro-USB connector '''P13''' with the USB cable (included in the evaluation kit). 

===USB===
SBC-iMX8M-Mini features two USB2.0 ports that are derived directly from the iMX8M-Mini USB subsystem. 
*Connector '''P17''' – USB2.0 OTG, micro-USB connector; 
*Connector '''J3''' – USB2.0 host, type-A connector. 

===Ethernet===
SBC-iMX8M-Mini features one Ethernet port available via RJ45 connector '''P6'''.

===PCI-Express===
Plug your PCI-Express device into the SBC-iMX8M-Mini mini-PCIe connector '''P11'''. Full / half size mini-PCIe modules are supported.

===Audio===
SBC-iMX8M-Mini features '''analog''' stereo output (implemented with the WM8731L audio codec) and '''digital''' S/PDIF input/output. Both are accessible via the following 3.5mm jacks: 
*'''P3''' – Microphone IN; 
*'''P4''' – Audio IN; 
*'''P5''' – Audio OUT. 

===Wireless===
====WiFi/Bluetooth====
For WiFi or Bluetooth operation connect the WiFI/BT antenna (included in the evaluation kit) to UCM-iMX8M-Mini connector '''J1'''.

====Cellular====

USB and/or PCI-express interfaced cellular modems (2G/3G/4G etc.) can be plugged into mini-PCIe socket P11. For modem operation:
* Insert the cellular modem into socket '''P11'''.
* Insert the SIM card to socket '''P12''' on the bottom side of the board.
* Make sure that jumper '''E14''' is removed (to route the USB interface to the mini-PCIe socket).

==Display==
The UCM-iMX8M-Mini evaluation kit contains Startec KD050HDFIA020 5" TFT panel with capacitive touch panel.

===LCD===
To enable the display connect the LCD data cable to connector '''P22'''.
===Touch panel===
To enable the touch-panel connect the touch-panel cable to connector '''P45'''.

==Camera==
The UCM-iMX8M-Mini evaluation kit contains LI-OV5640 camera module.
To start using the camera module connect the module to connector '''P8'''.

==System==

===Reset===
Pressing the reset button '''SW6''' triggers SBC-iMX8M-Mini cold reset.

===Boot Sequence Selection===
Pressing and holding the alt-boot button '''SW7''' during power-up or cold reset forces UCM-iMX8M-Mini to boot from SD card.

===Power ON / OFF===
Pressing the Power On button '''SW5''' shuts down the device.

===RTC===
For RTC operation make sure that a charged battery is present in socket '''BH1''' and that jumper '''E6''' is populated.

==Multi functional signals access==
===UART===
UART interface is available via header '''P20'''. 
Please refer to UCM-iMX8M-Mini reference guide and SB-UCM-MX8M schematics for details.
===SPI===
SPI interface is available via header '''P21'''. 
Please refer to the UCM-iMX8M-Mini reference guide and SB-UCM-MX8M schematics for details.
===I2C===
I2C interface is available via header '''P20'''. 
Please refer to the UCM-iMX8M-Mini reference guide and SB-UCM-MX8M schematics for details.
===GPIO===
GPIO signals are available via headers '''P20''' and '''P21'''. 
Please refer to the UCM-iMX8M-Mini reference guide and SB-UCM-MX8M schematics for details.

==Jumpers Summary==

'''Jumpers:''' 
*'''E9'''– SOM power enable. 
*'''E7''', '''E8''' – Can be used for the SOM current measurement (only when '''E9''' is not populated). 
*'''E6''' – Must be populated for RTC operation. 
*'''E11''' – When populated EEPROM is write protected. 
*'''E14''' – Controls USB multiplexing. When '''E14''' is populated USB interface is routed to USB connector '''J3'''. When '''E14''' is not populated USB interface is routed to mini-PCIe connector '''P11'''. 
*'''E4''' – When populated debug console routing is forced to micro-USB connector '''P13'''. When not populated debug console routing is controlled by auto-detection of USB cable. 

'''Default state:''' 
*Jumpers '''E6''', '''E9''', and '''E14''' are populated; 
*Jumpers '''E1''', '''E4''', '''E7''', '''E8''', '''E10''', '''E12''' and '''E15''' are removed.
